Airsoft Guns Above £300

If you're looking for the best out-of-the-box Airsoft sniper rifle around, you just found it! The Novritsch SSG11 Airsoft Sniper Rifle is the next evolution of Novritsch's SSG10 platform, boasting improved ergonomics, more quality-of-life features and far more power potential than the previous SSG10 thanks to its increased cylinder volume and compatibility with piston weights and FPS tuning rings.

The SSG11's advantages over legacy sniper rifle designs are almost too numerous to list! Its CNC aluminium TDC HOP-up allows for heavy ammo weights while providing a strong HOP-up effect with minimal side-to-side deviation. Its "bull" inner barrel has thicker walls than the usual, reducing the effects of vibration for a considerable accuracy edge. Its left/right swappable bolt handle makes it uniquely suited to left-handed shooters, and its ergonomic chassis design is ready to be customised with Harris-style bipods, M4 GBBR pistol grips and M4 sliding stocks to make the SSG11 truly yours.

If you held off on the SSG10, the SSG11 will make you glad you did! Feature-packed with a modern aesthetic, top-tier performance and loads of customisation options, the Novritsch SSG11 Airsoft Sniper Rifle is the ultimate player-friendly sniper platform!

If you want some jarring recoil in your life for a more realistic firing experience, a GBBR is the way to go! The WE Apache A5 is a great replica of the iconic SMG-5, boasting majority steel construction, a 3-round burst function and ambidextrous controls, matching the "Navy" version of the SMG-5 perfectly.

Far more exciting than that is how this SMG feels when fired, the recoil is strong and the bolt speed is very impressive, and the SMG stops firing when empty with a dead man's click to usher in a reload. The steel receiver, realistic size of the trigger pack, 30-round real-cap magazine and realistic manual of arms make this the ultimate SMG-5 for Milsim, or for more serious collectors. If there is an SMG-5 GBBR shaped hole in your soul, this should sort that right out!

If you love modern AKs and your collection lacks a support gun, the LCT RPK-16 AEG; ASTER II Bluetooth® ETU ticks both boxes! A stunning full metal build made almost entirely from steel, the RPK-16 is the latest in a long line of AK-based support weapons, adding modern attachment interfaces and AK-12-derived ergonomics to keep pace with modern battlefield requirements.

Inside, this beastly build is equipped with LCT's proven Version 3 gearbox, an updated rotary TDC HOP-up unit and the Gate ASTER II Bluetooth® ETU, giving it the performance to go with the bomb-proof external build. The package even includes a 2000-round auto-winding drum magazine, and a 130-round mid-cap for when you're feeling merciful!

If you're seeking an SA80 to complete your Squaddie kit, the WE L85A2 SA80 Replica GBBR is as realistic as they come! This full metal gas blowback rifle is constructed predominantly from stamped steel with an alloy outer barrel and olive green polymer furniture; a fantastic match for the real steel L85A2 as it was originally issued to the British Army.

Whether you're getting involved in Milsim skirmishes or want a realistic platform for training, movie making or display, the WE L85A2 is the one to go for. It kicks like a mule, operates almost exactly like the real thing and is made with the same proportions of metal to polymer as the real deal.

Compatibility-wise, the L85A2 takes WE Open Bolt M4/AR-15 magazines and VSR/GBB type inner barrels and HOP-up rubbers, meaning mags are common and a reliable design and you have access to some of the best aftermarket barrel and HOP-up bucking combos so you can maximise your accuracy and range potential. If you like to challenge yourself in game with 30-round mags, shoulder-thumping recoil and a realistic manual of arms, the WE L85A2 SA80 Replica GBBR is the way to go!

If you're a realism seeker looking for the next step up from an AEG, the WE M4A1 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System has your name on it! A considerable improvement over the previous WE Open Bolt M4 GBBR, the V3 improves reliability with choice steel internals, reinforcement in key places and a full internal redesign resulting in better rapid fire performance and long-term durability.

The most notable redesigns are its steel valve knocker and steel bolt catch contact surface, solving known issues with WE's previous designs and avoiding the immediate need for upgrades or bodge jobs. The trigger group has also been considerably reinforced, but the inner barrel and HOP-up bucking are still GBB/VSR spec, giving you access to some of the best upgrade parts in the business if you want to improve accuracy and range. The stock inner barrel is also now a 6.04mm tightbore, replacing the 6.08mm standard bore barrel of the previous version.

If you prioritise realism and like to work hard in-game like the real warriors do, the WE M4A1 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System should be on your shopping list. With realistic 30-round magazines, violent recoil and a manual of arms almost identical to the real M4A1, this is a primary for the pros!

Built around the classic AK-74, this full metal Airsoft AEG has been decked out with tactical enhancements designed to make this rifle a serious competitor with the M4 platform.

The MK-74 boasts a realistic, hefty weight. Constructed from mostly steel, except for a CNC aluminium handguard and top cover. With the addition of a Gate ASTER II Bluetooth® ETU as well, this Airsoft AK assault rifle shoots as good as it looks. LCT are known for its premium, high-grade external builds, and its latest line of iconic replicas is competing internally as well!

If you've got an AEG and are looking for the next step in your Airsoft journey, the WE 4168 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System is calling your name! A full metal 416 replica which puts realism first, this hefty platform boasts a steel outer barrel and gas block to provide the most immersive experience possible, not to mention its violent recoil and 100% realistic manual of arms. As a training tool or a skirmish primary for realism nuts, the 4168 is at the head of the pack, made even better in its updated V3 iteration!

The most notable redesigns are its steel valve knocker and steel bolt catch contact surface, solving known issues with WE's previous designs and avoiding the immediate need for upgrades or bodge jobs. The trigger group has also been considerably reinforced, but the inner barrel and HOP-up bucking are still GBB/VSR spec, giving you access to some of the best upgrade parts in the business if you want to improve accuracy and range. The stock inner barrel is also now a 6.04mm tightbore, replacing the 6.08mm standard bore barrel of the previous version.

If you love the feel of GBBRs but need a high-performance option, the Novritsch SSQ4 M4/AR-15 GBBR is one to watch. A stunner of a full metal build bristling with Novritsch innovation, the SSQ4 reinvents the GBBR platform with a focus on range, accuracy and rate of fire, putting other GBBRs to shame in terms of downrange effect.

The SSQ4 achieves its edge through a shortened bolt carrier design, which makes your gas supply go much further and cranks the rate of fire up to around 20 rounds per second. Its unique externally adjustable TDC HOP-up unit is pre-fitted with an upgraded Maple Leaf Autobot 60° silicone bucking, resulting in 50m+ accuracy with 0.36g BBs, something no other out-of-the-box GBBR can match. If you're all about a realistic experience but not at the cost of performance, the Novritsch SSQ4 M4/AR-15 GBBR should be in your sights!

If you love a rare, unique platform with AR-15 lineage, the WE KAC PDW 10" Open Bolt GBBR should be in your sights! Based on the Knights Armament PDW, a design which was way ahead of its time, this hard-kicking GBBR is at the peak of Airsoft realism, boasting a realistic manual of arms and an incredible, immersive experience with each trigger pull.

The real KAC PDW was conceived as an answer to the problem of how to get better terminal ballistics from a compact, short-barreled rifle. This was achieved with a new cartridge, 6x35mm, with a shorter yet higher mass projectile and 70% reduced recoil compared to a 5.56 M4A1. Despite reaching its benchmark, the PDW was only adopted in small numbers, but later in its life, it was rechambered for the currently trendy PDW round, the .300 Blackout.

While WE KAC PDWs are a rarity on skirmish sites, they have plenty of perks compared to M4/AR-15 GBBRs. The PDW platform is lighter, slimmer and more compact than almost any M4 configuration while sharing its intuitive fire controls with added ambidextrous functionality. Its bolt carrier is smaller and lighter than an M4 bolt, resulting in incredible rapid-fire performance, rivalling the legendary GHK G5. If you love the GBBR experience but want a rare, modern-retro build which will turn heads, the WE KAC PDW 10" Open Bolt GBBR is ideal!
